Research
HydroCen - WP1.3
The main objective of HydroCen is to enable the Norwegian hydropower sector to meet complex challenges and exploit new opportunities through innovative technological solutions. Work pakage 1.3 focuses on hydraulic structures and sediment handling.
Pen@Hydropower
The COST Action aims to specify the hydropower potential in the modern energy system with technological developments, state-of-the-art climate projections, environmental and societal conditions for implementation tools for legislation and governance.
Energydam
The project aims is to develop a new methodology for the analysis and evaluation of modernizing / equipping existing non-powered dams with hydropower production.
Underground pumped storage plants
Hydraulic research on underground pumped storage plants
Structural mitigation measures for GLOFS
Research on the hydrodynamic characteristics of structural mitigation measures for GLOFS.
Culvert hydraulics
Research on culvert hydraulics.
InSpillyFish
Research on hydraulic improvements of spillways, including fish passage.
